Oh Bravo, you’re a distraction from our precious reading time and a total guilty pleasure. But we can’t quit watching!
Thankfully, our love of reading recently collided with our love of all things Bravo.
From Real Housewives books to books from Below Deck stars and the Million Dollar Listing agents, we were excited to find that many Bravolebrities have authored books.
And some of them are actually good!
We went on a quest to dig through every book authored by a Bravo star that was rated at least 4 stars on Goodreads at the time we curated this list.
The Best Bravo Books
Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture
You can't start a list of Bravo books without Andy Cohen, king of all things Bravo.
While Most Talkative isn't his most recent book, it is the highest-rated. This one would be a great listen on Audible since Andy narrates.
Running Against the Tide: True Tales from the Stud of the Sea
This one is a must-read for any Below Deck fans! It's full of wild yachting stories told in Captain Lee's unique style.
A Simple Girl: Stories My Grandmother Told Me
We dug a bit to uncover this surprising gem. Josh Flagg from Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles wrote this biography about his incredible grandma back in 2009.
She was born in Romania in 1919, became a member of the Dutch Underground to fight Hilter, and traveled to America with $5. She turned her rough and complicated early years into a multi-million dollar fashion empire in California.
The Art of Southern Charm
Who else is fascinated with Patricia from Southern Charm?
Melissa got this book for Christmas last year and loved reading Pat's backstory, including how she found the fabulous Michael.
Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again
In her very first tell-all memoir, Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHWONJ) fame, comes clean on growing up as an Italian-American, starting a family, dealing with chaos on national television,
But nothing could compare to the media firestorm that ensued after she was convicted on federal fraud charges—and sentenced to fifteen months in prison... where she kept a diary.
Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders
This tell-all book by RHOBH Alum Brandi Glanville has an amazingly high rating on Amazon.
It's described as both funny and juicy - as you'd expect from someone whose husband left her for LeAnn Rimes.
Sell It Like Serhant: How to Sell More, Earn More, and Become the Ultimate Sales Machine
Remember the Million Dollar Listing spin-off Sell It Like Serhant? Ryan also wrote a book to help people learn to sell in any industry using amusing stories along the way.
Lucky Charming
I didn't expect TWO Below Deck books on the list, but Kate Chastain's story-telling earned her high reviews so we couldn't leave her off the list.
If you're interested in yachting as a career or just fascinated by lifestyles of the rich and famous, Lucky Charming will have something for you!
What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship, and Love
Carole is an experienced journalist, and that shows in the overwhelmingly positive reviews of her memoir.
The twists and turns in her life are fascinating, so I can see why this is a high-rated read.
